Yesterday, we shared the story of Erin and her fear her boss was angry with her after asking about a raise. (To read the full situation, CLICK HERE to access yesterday's newsletter.) We asked our readers, 'What Would YOU Do?" - and got some EXCELLENT responses. Here's what they said:

“I would speak to my boss - perhaps it’s not personal? If she is unhappy she should start looking for another job or career! Communication is key and so is loving your job, like I do! No job is worth your mental health!”

“1. Find out specifically what he does not like or is dissatisfied within her work
2. Obtain a copy of her job description and review it
3. Find out what are his expectations are of her and see if it aligns with her job description
4. Update her resume
5. Document everything
6. Setup a meeting with him regularly to discuss
7. Document goals if she has not done that already and review the associated accomplishments with him during the regular meetings”
